INDIANAPOLIS, DECATUR & SPRINGFIELD
This railway was completed about 1874, without much ado in raising stock, or subscriptions or tax in this county. Many years ago, about 1852-'54, -- during the great period of railroad projects everywhere, -- the "Indiana & Illinois Central Railway Company" nearly completed the grading on this route. The road is now leased from the old Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railway Company.
